Nutrition Information
We made 100 of these for a party and followed the adjusted recipe exactly. We premade and mixed everything 3 days before except the club soda, which we added right before serving. They were wonderful. I love the glasses pictured in you recipe and have been unsuccessfully searching for them. Do you have any idea where I can purchases them?
Thanks for sharing your success, Carol! I wish I could remember where I found them, but I cannot!
I have been “researching” (tough job, I know) for about 10 years and this one is perfect. I especially love that you can get this prepped several days ahead of your gathering and pull it out a few minutes ahead of guests arriving. The sweetness level isn’t too much, which is usually my complaint with mojito recipes. Yes, there are a lot of ads, but kudos to you for finding a way to share your recipes and make a living!
Happy to hear you’ve finally found “the one”!
It looks so refreshing! Can you double the recipe and put in 2 pitchers?
I don’t see why not!
Difficult to read the recipe as ads kept blocking what I was trying to read
I am sorry, the ads are sadly necessary to keep this site going so you can have access to free recipes. There is an option at the top of the website to jump straight down to the recipe and skip everything in between and it allows you to print a recipe that is printer-friendly.
I would like to use this recipe for a large party including kids. Would this work without the rum, letting the adults add their own rum and kids getting in on the fun, “rum” free?
Add some lemon-lime type soda!
What’s the size of this pitcher? Can’t wait to try it!
It’s your average size pitcher. This will make about 1.5 liters!
Didn’t have quite enough limes for a double batch, so used one big Meyer Lemon and was still short a few. But my limes were juicy and my mint grows luxuriously and the pitcher of Mojitos was a big hit at our party. I have an old seltzer bottle so it makes it even more fun to add the fizzy water at a party. You can buy vintage seltzer bottles cheaply on ebay and the CO2 cartridges on Amazon.
Oh what a fun idea!! I’ll have to try that!
Thought I wud try the Mojitos recipe with Cuban rum from my fiancé- I just so happened to say ‘yes’ to spending a life with my Cuban delight- The recipe is divine!
Thanks, Wendy!
Though there is lots of gibberish no actual recipe.- ugh
